Have you written your letter??
Write a letter or journal entry to yourself, expressing your beliefs or heart-felt feelings or beliefs about war, peace, killing. Mention anything about the origins of these attitudes: dreams, religion, kindergarten, the playground; your parents, grandparents, siblings, clergy, teachers. Mention names of any people that might be able to verify from where these beliefs developed. Date, sign and photocopy. Mail the original to yourself. Keep the post-marked letter and the copy with your most important documents. Now you have dated, sealed, proof of your attitudes before you are confronted with a draft!
